        This method is deprecated. Instead, use 
        <a class="xref" href="envset_memory_init.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_memory_init()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_memory_init()</a>,
        <a class="xref" href="envset_memory_max.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;set_memory_max()">DB_ENV-&gt;set_memory_max()</a>, and

      <p>
         Set the maximum number of locked objects supported by the Berkeley DB
         environment.  This value is used by 
         <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;open()">DB_ENV-&gt;open()</a>  to estimate how
         much space to allocate for various lock-table data structures.  The
         default value is 1000 objects.  
         The final value specified for the lock objects should be more than or equal to
			the number of lock table partitions.
         For specific information on
         configuring the size of the lock subsystem, see 
         <a href="../../programmer_reference/lock_max.html" class="olink">Configuring locking: sizing the system</a>.
    </p>
      <p>
         The database environment's maximum number of objects may also be
         configured using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The 
         syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string
         "set_lk_max_objects", one or more whitespace characters, and the
         number of objects. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is 
         read when the database environment is opened, it will silently
         overrule configuration done before that time.
    </p>
      <p>
         The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_lk_max_objects()</code> method configures a database
         environment, not only operations performed using the specified

         information specified to <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;set_lk_max_objects()</code> will be
